Global Session Plugin

gsession.vim saves your session files into the same directory (~/.vim/session/ or ~\vimfiles\session\ on Windows by default). and auto-detect your session file to load session file when you are opening vim editor without arguments. you can also define your session dir by g:session_dir option.

gsession.vim also save your session file when you are leaving vim editor.

gsession.vim also support making a local session file <leader>sS, which is just like :mksession! command. but you can define your favorite session filename.

gsession.vim create different sessions for git branches. so session won't conflict between different branches.

Local session & Global session

1. Local session (limited to specified dir and git branch name)
2. Global session (system wide, absolute path)

Options
